Amusings: Looking at Life Through a Stained Glass Window Julia Preston

In this impressive book rich in metaphor, the author wends her way through decades of her on-again, off-again love affair with writing, and does battle with the fear and self-doubt that have prevented her from writing and publishing a book. In this inspired work she emerges victorious, and her triumph over her inner demons will serve as a beacon of light to others whose dreams have been obscured by lost hope. With humor, insight, intelligence and integrity, the author turns her keen eye to find meaning in the mundane. Here are the lessons of life gleaned from her observations of everything from pondering life in the hereafter to gum stuck on her shoe. Like using a jeweler's loupe to examine the minutiae, she unearths poignant gems of insight that life offers each of us, brilliant as diamonds, rich as rubies. Like a delicious box of chocolates, her stories may be savored in small or large bites. Dig in and enjoy. It will leave you wanting more.
